   FF
When gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
     Bb majorBb          C majorC
Like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder
    FF              Bb majorBb C majorC
And the other one is rubbing your back
    FF
But the kitchen in this new place has a window
   Bb majorBb            C majorC
Yeah, you can grow basil on the sill
       FF              Bb majorBb G#G#
Maybe you can call your neighbors by name now

FF
Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
    Bb majorBb             C majorC
Still, this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
   FF
It's all grit and gristle, I can't chew and swallow
  Bb majorBb         C majorC
I'm gnawing my way back home
  FF
The clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
 Bb majorBb           C majorC
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
FF                      Bb majorBb        C majorC
 I'm confused about how I'm supposed to connect to anything now

  FF
The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train
    Bb majorBb            C majorC
And the people with a seat smile big at me
       FF
Because they know the feeling
     Bb majorBb   C majorC
And for a millisecond
  FF
We share a look like a family does
       Bb majorBb             C majorC
Like we have inside jokes, like we could call each other
FF        Bb majorBb C majorC
By little nicknames
  FF
And I could tell the story of how my great
   Bb majorBb         C majorC
Grandmother's sister was deemed a saint
      FF
How they exhumed her body after years of being buried
     Bb majorBb            C majorC
And they found she hadn't even begun to sully
    FF
So they moved her again
         Bb majorBb    C majorC
Straight into the Vatican

 FF
I think of all the billions of eyes
  Bb majorBb          C majorC
All looking at something different at the same time
  FF      Bb majorBb  G#G#
And I feel nauseous
     FF                Bb majorBb C majorC
Some days I can only see into my suitcase
     FF
It's got everything I need plus some superstitious
Bb majorBb      C majorC
Things I may also need
FF
"Music soothes the savage beast"
  Bb majorBb      C majorC
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
FF            Bb majorBb C majorC
 But now is not the time
 FF
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry
 Bb majorBb        C majorC    FF   Bb majorBb   C majorC
I just want to keep very very quiet, yeah

It's June where you sleep, July where I land
     FF                  Bb majorBb C majorC
Thought I saw you on a platform in Amsterdam
   FF
And I nearly missed my train
   Bb majorBb           C majorC
And I felt so defeated til I jumped on to
FF                Bb majorBb C majorC
See all the warm smiles were for me

FF
I made my train and it made me so happy
 Bb majorBb          C majorC
I made my train and it made me forget everything
  FF
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb majorBb         C majorC
Made me forget, it made me forget everything
  FF
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb majorBb        C majorC          FF
Made me forget, made me forget everything
